In addition to receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree, he was presented with national first place student achievement awards in both audio and video production from National Religious Broadcasters.
Early on in his career, Brian worked as a television new photographer with several CBS and ABC affiliate stations. During this time, he was recognized by the Associated Press and the Michigan TV News Photographers Association for excellence in photojournalism at the state and regional levels.
From there, Brian transitioned into Public/Educational/Government Access Television where he instructed college students in all basic areas of basic television production, reporting and promotion through an internship program with Michigan State University. Around that time, he also began voice-tracking as an on-air personality with Smile FM in several communities across the state.
Eventually, Brian left television and moved full-time into radio at Smile as co-host and producer of the Morning Espresso with Jenn & Brian. During this season, he also served as production manager and director of creative services.
In 2018, Brian began working with Family Life Radio. Today he serves as Regional Promotions Manager overseeing promotional efforts at affiliate stations throughout Michigan and the Eastern US, including the brand new 93.1 FM in Metro Detroit. Since then, he has also become an Adjunct Professor of Communication with his alma mater, Spring Arbor University.
In addition to his broadcasting career, Brian is also the Founder and Director of Free Shrugs Entertainment, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a “clean comedy” experience for
